Overlooked by the dramatic mountains of World Heritage listed Lamington National Park and punctuated by the chill rock pools of the Upper Albert River and Christmas Creek; the Lost World Valley - one and a half hours south of Brisbane - provides an invigorating escape from the mundane.
Here at the wilderness end of Lamington Park, a variety of romantic cottages and farmstays offer warm comfort at the end of an adventurous day in the outdoors.
A well established cooking school explores wild food in fusion with compatible cuisines and after the heat of the kitchen, the chill and tumble of the rock pools is waiting.
